Chapter 403 Peak vs. Peak!
Thunderbolt Fighting God reappeared in this world!
The furious Thunderhawk appeared before the eyes of the world with a wrath that surpassed any it had shown before.
When those wings flickering with lightning and the ultra-heavy leg assemblies, as well as the body proportions that conformed to the aesthetic of Fighting... and even a size that surpassed the Strangling Demon Snake, all inspired fear.
The proud purplish-blue scarf lifted high, as if unbound by the planet's gravity, and at the moment the image was frozen, countless people boiled with excitement.
"This, this size, how is it so huge, and why does it look even bigger than that mecha?"
"My God, such a gorgeous mecha, is this also from the Interstellar Mecha Association? The presence is so terrifying, heaven!"
"Damn, when this mecha appeared, there's no point in comparing the ones below, fuck, as expected of the Interstellar Mecha Association."
Upon seeing the Thunderhawk appear, the original commotion and chaos in the spectator stands miraculously began to settle.
In such a situation, the arrival of a powerful presence always had a mysterious effect on calming people's hearts!
But they had guessed wrong about one thing; this mecha, without a doubt on par with the Flowing Light Heavenly Eagle in terms of power, was a genuine product of the Federation!
The staff of the Interstellar Mecha Association, upon seeing the miraculous calming of the arena, relaxed their anxious hearts.
Gregory in Zhongjing City had been notified already; now the Ran Family's Mechanical Masters and Naden Mechanical Master as High Tier combatants are all preparing to deploy their S-class mechas to support the Thunderhawk, aiming to capture one of Solomon's Gateposts.
To deal with a Super Series mecha with extremely high mobility and strong defensive capability, one must combat it with equal firepower.
The Federation Fleet's mode of operation, suitable for space, is not fit for ground situations with civilians and other personnel present.
It is simply impossible not to affect allies with wide-range attacks.
Therefore, the role of the Federation Fleet is to form an encirclement with tens of thousands of warships and then deploy Viking Fighter squadrons, whose extremely high agility combined with unique force field-concentrating cannons can gradually restrain the enemy's speed.
But this... is just in theory.
In actual combat history, the number of times the S+ class mechas have fallen is very few!
Know that a mecha rated at the pinnacle of S-class, which doesn't have its own unique life-saving tricks?
Solomon's seventy-two Gatepost Knights, whose dark fame over the years has been enough to shake both the Federation and Empire.
Add to that their home space strewn with Chaotic Flows and asteroid belts and their numerous intricate connections to the Outer Domain Galaxy. Countless science madmen, war fanatics, and strongmen daring to affront the dignity of both major powers have all eventually converged here.
This troublesome power has surprisingly established itself with a domineering stance in this cosmos and is growing stronger and stronger!
At its core military force are sixty-nine S+ rated mechas and the three leaders among the Twelve Demon God Machines of the Ultimate Series!
Now one of them, the seventy-second Gatepost Knight, has unexpectedly appeared here alone, prompting the Federation military to deploy troops with a reserve fleet to prevent any fleet that might follow this Gatepost Knight!
To know that what the Solomon Gatepost Knights represent is not just a mecha, but a terrifying power that can rule over a small star domain!
But now, the Thunderbolt Fighting God—Thunderhawk—simply didn't care about these things, as the man who dared to confront an SS-class Night Demon Bird with his peak S+ level, as the proud owner of the Broken Sword Knight medal.
He, Ruan Xiongfei's glory, was all in these battles, time after time.
In the past, he led soldiers in combat, he fought to rescue brothers, and he even watched his closest comrades die in front of him one by one.
The brutal border war, five years like twenty on the inner planets!
When Ruan Xiongfei rose to the rank of group leader, he found that the old friends he could chat with—some were dead, some injured—he had become alone.
Inside Thunderhawk's cockpit, under the strong electric field, the dense interwoven lightning even turned the bald man's beard and eyebrows white.
The CICH direct connection system's overload stimulation on the body caused Ruan Xiongfei's muscles to bulge out, his exposed veins looking horrifying.
"I've fought for my brothers and comrades all my life, but in the end, I couldn't save them! Damn fate, if something really happens to Mufan this time, I'll carry an eternally irredeemable debt!"
"Andumari, go to hell!"
Bang!
The combat vest even burst at this moment from the swelling muscles, Ruan Xiongfei's enraged muscular build, outlined by lightning, was as clearly defined as a marble sculpture.
The Thunderhawk's wings had not even flapped yet, and the people only saw the Thunderhawk suspended in the air for a moment. Then, in the next second, a huge ring of white mist exploded from all around it.
Sonic boom at the spot!
And just as this scene appeared, before the burst air flow could be seen, a ring of ionized sparks even appeared outside the mist.
This spectacular scene caused all the spectators who had been trembling with fear and desperately wanting to escape to freeze in their tracks.
This kind of scene, 99% of people present would likely never witness in their lifetime.
However, today, after Andumari appeared, Thunderhawk showed them.
Storm, Divine Thunder, Thunder Beast!
All of this was synonymous with extreme speed and ferocious power.
Thunderhawk, breaking the sound barrier, instantly transformed into a streak of lightning and charged forward.
A series of Thunderstorm noises and those purple lightning trails appeared in the long sky.
In that instant, Thunderhawk's sprinting momentum was like a thunderous strike from an electromagnetic railgun on a Super Battleship.
Turning his body into a bullet carrying endless rage, and then firing it violently.
8 times the speed of sound, 10 times, 12 times, 16 times, 18 times!
These numbers did not appear one second at a time, but instead fluctuated instantly on the monitoring screens of the Sky Mother Ship.
20 times the speed of sound!
People only saw a bolt of lightning thundering down from the mid-air.
The trail of lightning was like a stretched-out, long purple-blue scarf leaving a residual image in people's retinas.
Inside the cockpit, Ruan Xiongfei's veins bulged terrifyingly, yet the man did not care at all. In the moment of the sprint, the strong electromagnetic force kept his arms from lifting, but like lifting a mountain weighing dozens of tons, his arms raised bit by bit, then he threw a punch forward with a thunderous force.
In this instant, the lightning that bound him even burst out like fireworks.
Outside, Thunderhawk's right fist suddenly turned into a dense purple color, the electricity on the knuckle so intense it was almost impossible to keep one's eyes open.
With the roar of the engines behind him, the lightning struck the clasped hands of the dark-yellow mecha Strangling Demon Snake in an unavoidable manner!
Owl Thunder Strike—the swift punch of lightning.
Boom, boom!
Two huge clouds of smoke rose; the first was from the explosion of rocks on the high cliffs outside the canyon, and the second was from the huge blast wave that erupted inside the canyon.
With one punch, Thunderhawk actually punched completely through the perimeter of the artificial canyon with his fists.
Next, as if breaking free from gravity, he slowly pulled apart his fists with effort.
The purple electricity on the right fist began to spread to the left fist; Thunderhawk, slowly standing up in the deep impact crater, looked towards the high sky.
There, about a dozen figures were shattered by it in an instant.
However, Ruan Xiongfei, whose nerves were almost completely interfaced, did not feel the sensation of his fist breaking physical matter.
He still hit a mirror image...
Ruan Xiongfei's teeth were gritted so hard they nearly shattered. He dared not look back; he dared not look at the deep pit blasted by the Snake Shadow Demon Trace Cannon, fearful he would collapse.
"To think it's Thunderhawk, it's been a long time! I didn't expect Gregory to be absent, but you, Ruan Xiongfei, you're here. Was that your disciple I just killed? Hahahaha, this is simply the most exhilarating news I've heard in years."
The wanton, wild voice echoed between heaven and earth.
Thunderhawk's appearance was completely unexpected, yet the reason for its arrival provided Andumari with pleasure akin to slaughtering a planet.
"Ruan Xiongfei, you too have a day where you lose your composure, ah-hahaha, delightful! Delightful!"
Having already achieved, even surpassed his goals, Andumari did not mind rubbing salt in the opponent's wounds under these circumstances.
"My disciple is gone..."
Ruan Xiongfei's deep voice rang out, yet the intent to kill within it was nearly tangible.
"Today, wherever you go, I will hunt you down. If you flee back to Solomon, I will slaughter your planet!"
With thorns on the armored legs suddenly surrounded by electricity, Thunderhawk stomped heavily on the ground.
Boom!
A dazzling bolt of lightning pierced from the crater towards the sky; this time, it did not aim at any target but the high heavens.
There... was where the storm converged!
